  Q: How do you remove the Steering Knuckle?

  A: You should first remove the drive-axle/hub by first loosening the drive-axle/hub nut and wheel lug nuts. Then, raise the vehicle into a secure position on jackstands. The brake caliper with its bracket has the wheel supporting it through a wire. Take away hub from the brake disc and detach wheel speed sensor. Strut-to-steering knuckle bolt nuts can be loosened and strut marked to steering knuckle. Disconnect Tie Rod End from steering knuckle arm, then ball joint to steering knuckle pinch bolt removed in order to separate ball joint from steering knuckle. Drive-axle/hub nut should be removed and drive-axle pushed out of hub with end supported through wire. Finally, strut-to-knuckle bolts are removed so as to allow separation of steering knuckle from strut. To install, guide the assembly of hub and knuckle to proper positions while inserting axle into hub. Knuckle should be pushed to strut flange then begin installing bolts and nuts without tightening up yet Connect ball joint onto knuckles while tightening nut pinch bolt Install tie rod end onto arm of steering knuckler as well as tighten specified torque values for strut bolts/nuts and tie rod end nut Mounting bracket for calipers must also be installed together with brake disc and speed sensor Use wire to firmly secure drive axle's/hub's plastic cap Lastly, lower vehicle whilst installing lug-nuts then tighten wheel speed sensors n' fix them on wheels After that hold back front-end alignment check plus adjustment if necessary.
